Solomon has had a couple of stints with the Thunder after going undrafted out of Cal during the 2014 draft. He played Summer League with the Thunder in 2015 and 2016.

Before he was waived in 2014, Solomon appeared in three games during the preseason for the Thunder and totaled 14 points, 10 rebounds, four steals and two blocks.

Solomon played with the OKC Blue of the G League during the 2014-15 season. He averaged 8.5 points and 6.9 rebounds in 28 games for the Blue that season.

By signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the Thunder, Solomon can receive a bonus of up to $50,000 to be with the Thunder during training camp and then he will be waived and sent to the G League for the season.

Solomon played in Summer League for the Hawks last year.
